vmware_vmotion: Cross-vCenter vMotion #881

Open necouchman opened 3 years ago

necouchman commented 3 years ago

SUMMARY

Support cross-vCenter vMotion with the vmware_vmotion plugin.

ISSUE TYPE

Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

vmware_vmotion

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I'm working on a project where I have a large number of VMs to move from one vCenter to another, including both Storage vMotion and Compute vMotion. The vmware_vmotion module works great for both Compute and Storage vMotion within a single vCenter, but does not appear to contain the options and configurations required to move the VM from one vCenter to another.

Maybe we can use some of the code from vmware_guest_cross_vc_clone to implement this. Ideally by moving the common code to a (new or already existing) module util instead of just copy&paste'ing.
